Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IhB.2ACI/585 Message Board Post: After double-checking my guess with my limited Jacob Anderson info, I agree with Carolyn that AJ md. to E.E. isn't a son, but I don't have many later generations and still remember "some little something" that makes me want to connect him with that family (grandson?? g-grandson??? location of the deed record???) I did go check Bedford Co. marriage records. There were none for an A.J. to E.E.!!!! The 2 that are in my line showed up (females Almedia Lacy and Lucinda Yoes). There were 2 others of note: 1. A.J. Anderson to Sarah Stephenson on 14 March 1866 with M. Anderson as security, by W.H. McFarlin (p. 198 in Records 1865-1868) and 2. Andrew Anderson to Sallie Ray, John Ray, security 29 March 1876 by H. D. Ranson (p. 299, vol B). Checking census records: 1870, 3 listings: my Andrew J. is still living with parents -there is a listing for AJ Anderson (30) and Sarah J. (25) with Mary H. (2) and George F. (1) in Dist. 1, Shelbyville PO - Also, an Andrew (46) with wife Nancy (33), john (12), Willis (10) and Margaret (8) in Dist. 19, Palmetto {this last Andrew shows up as son of Albert in court records and was in Albert's HH in 1850 census and was a close neighbor in 1860}. By 1880, no AJ listings found!!!!!; only Jac Anerson working as laborer with Cook family in Dist. 18 (this would be between his 2 known marriages.) Let me know if you see loopholes in my logic.
